Hello. I have just read your "For those interested in Recon" post and I have a question. When I was 4 yrs old I was hit in the eye with a baseball and had to have cataract surgery. I got through MEPS with them knowing and my eyesight is correctable to 20/20 vision. In your opinion, do you think this will make me ineligible for Recon?

sir, are you aware of the issues of Marines who served on El Toro? I can't remember the name of the webpage but there is a .org site out there that is following the chemicals that are killing Marines who served there.

Upon graduating from college in 1994, I enlisted in the Marines. Finished boot camp at the top of my platoon and was meritoriously promoted and assigned to the Marine Corps Reserve Combat Engineer Company, located in Cross Lanes, West Virginia. Within a month, I was accepted into Officer Candidate’s School. After being commissioned a Second Lieutenant, I was stationed at Tustin Marine Corps base in Orange County, California. There I served as the Officer In Charge of the Motor Transport and Maintenance Divisions. After discovering my interest in the law, the Commanding Officer directed me to attend the Department of the Navy’s Naval Justice Academy to be trained as the command’s Legal Officer. I then worked as a liaison between the Commanding Officer and the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps. Duties included investigating accidents and aiding in the prosecution of crimes committed by and against Marines. After release from my initial tour, I attended law school and became an Infantry Officer in the reserves at Moundsville, WV (Platoon Commander for Weapons Platoon). Recently was the PWST OIC for Company A and B, 4th CEB. Served as the Company Commander of Alpha Co., 4th CEB. Served as the OIC for a Security Cooperation Team in Jordan and Afghanistan. Currently the Executive Officer for Combat Logitics Battalion 451.
